UNL Weed Scientists on Weed Resistance

Although it has been getting more attention the last few years, the issue of herbicide resistant weeds is not new. In this video retired UNL weed scientist Alex Martin discusses some of the history of weed resistance and how we got to where we are today. Chris Proctor, a current UNL weed scientist, highlights some of the present-day issues with herbicide resistance management.

Both note the importance of diverse weed management techniques to slow the spread of herbicide resistance and the significance of thoughtful stewardship of our herbicide technologies to ensure their usefulness into the future.

Consider these three guidelines to ensure maximum weed control with Liberty in LibertyLink corn and soybean and view a time-lapse video demonstrating how quickly waterhemp regrows when treatment occurs after the optimal weed height of 4 inches or less.

Results from a 2017 weed management trial on glyphosate-resistant ragweed indicated two applications were often more efficient and cost effective than either three applications or one application of herbicide.

One of the challenges with spring burndown application is timing. Wet and windy conditions can delay spraying and under these conditions weeds can grow significantly in a few days. Waiting until planting to spray troublesome weeds such as marestail may be too late to achieve adequate control. In addition, waiting until soybean planting limits the available herbicide options since there are relatively few labeled effective burndown chemicals for spraying at this time. The following section identifies key treatment aspects to consider for several resistant varieties in Nebraska.

Soybean planting has started in Nebraska and it’s time to apply pre-emergence herbicides. Six weeds have evolved resistance to glyphosate in Nebraska. The best way to effectively control resistant and other hard-to-control weeds is by applying residual, pre-emergence herbicides with multiple effective modes of action. Several new herbicides recently registered in soybean are in this category and could be considered.
